Warmspare using lan public pool

Hi All,

 

Can we configure warmspare for Meraki MX using Lan public ip pool. Please find below details.

 

Wan ip pool- 1.1.1.1/30

 Lan ip pool- 2.2.2.1/29

Kind of a big deal

Do you want to use these listed IPs?

No, it is not possible.

The ideal is to use at least a /29 provided by your operator. If this is not available, you can use a private LAN address.

See the documentation.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

We have lan public ip pool that's routed on wan ip pool. Here mux having one of the ip assigned from wan ip pool. So can i use lan public ip pool to assign each meraki mx uplink ip and one vip

Presuming you are trying to avoid putting a router in place, technically I can imagine a backwards way to make this work. This would not be something you’d want to do. Youd have to rely on the primary firewall to route the block which would make the secondary dependent on it which makes actual failover not possible.

 

Most ISPs (at least in the US) will hand off a /29 directly these days and that would be the easiest way to get failover working without having to buy or rent a router
